Skincare Routine Reviews

Don’t be me. I spent a few hours playing with free version and assumed the features I needed were locked in the pro version. The description even lists the feature I need, “managing routines.” So I bought a year of pro. Within an hour I regretted that decision. I should of just did a month at first to make sure it did what it said, and I require for my skin routines. While you can manage when individual products in steps in routines appear/rotate, there is no obvious way to do that with routines themselves. Like I can not create a microneedling routine to do every 4 weeks. I can set every step in the routine to that cycle but not the routine it’s self. It is present everyday. There is no way to look ahead and see when my next microneedling session is, etc. I would have to check it every day to see if the steps are present in the routine or not. Just not practical or useful when I have an advanced diy medspa and skin care regiment. $30 down the drain and my search for a functioning skin care app continues.

I love SkincareRoutine. It has almost everything you need to keep track of your progress and skincare journey. I appreciate the lack of ads, multiple custom routines, diary entries, photo comparison functions, product databases and the community that is growing behind it. I really do want to truly support SkincareRoutine since skincare is a very important thing to me & SkincareRoutine is the best one as of right now that i’ve tried out so far. There’s just only a few small issues that i’ve noticed while using it; 1. No “one-time” purchase option available for pro Not only is this a major setback for options, but it could be putting back most users who already have a lot of other subscriptions to manage, including myself. I extremely dislike the change of removing this option recently for apps, especially ones that you’re willing to support. 2. Interface suggestions It can be a bit of a challenge to find exactly what I’m looking for, especially on the main page where it can feel a bit cluttered. Aside from that, it’s difficult to determine the progress that i’m having, despite entering in specifics. A small suggestion that might help with this I think could benefit users would be a function like a chart system for how much the info that users enter in the journal change over time, such as the course of a week/month/year.
[Update:] I appreciate being responded to and understood on the review I gave. I’m looking forward to the future of SkincareRoutine !

Hi developers, Am trying hard to make the jump from my skincare app I’ve been using for years. Certain key features are unavailable that I think would improve SkincareRoutine as a very longtime skincare tracker. I’ve tried many apps and yours is the most complete, feature-wise. Hope you’ll consider Lacking the ability to reorder lists and the products in the lists, use icons for routines and lists, and view past usage on a calendar for individual products is holding me back from switching permanently. Having to navigate to each individual product page to check this is a bit tedious. Also the ability to customize the nav bar icons for quick access to lists and other things would be AMAZING. Would love to see this implemented as it is such an important feature. Journaling isn’t a feature that I personally use as much as careful skincare tracking. I think the analytics should be more skincare focused (product types/categories visualizations instead of journal categories) Also a small date (last used) under every product when checking off a routine would really make things easier for certain use cases. I know there’s a forced rotation you can set up in SkincareRoutine but the date would be immensely helpful at a glance. Have a few more ideas after using SkincareRoutine for several days. Will keep checking back in case things are implemented, all the best team

SkincareRoutine is super user friendly with minimal learning curve to get up and running.
You can create multiple routines with different products and select which products you've used and at what time in the day.
Additionally, you can log and save your own photos with the built-in and private calendar (and "rate" certain concerns like blemishes and dehydration at the time of the entry) each day. After gathering a certain amount of metrics you can have it "analyzed" (via ai built into SkincareRoutine ?) and view your data's results visually. This is super useful to look back at what you used leading up to a breakout/flare up/sensitivity, and help you to rule out and determine what products may have been contributing to an event: good or bad.
There is a quite comprehensive database of so baby products; mainstream skin and makeup, but also indie brands and j or k beauty; if the product your looking for is not in the database yet it's very quick and easy to add it yourself to record it's use. I use it also to make sure I remember; what actives I used, what (if Any) combinations of products I used (before, during and after), and when they were used in my skincycle so as to not over do it with retinol or a chem exfoliant.

Can't wait to see what features roll out on SkincareRoutine in the future.

I like what SkincareRoutine offers so far. I wish there was a one time pay feature bc i would definitely purchase the premium features.

I hardly rate apps, unless one really impresses me. So consider me impressed! I was looking for something to keep track of my skincare products for quite sometime, and SkincareRoutine is stellar! Not only does it do everything I was looking for, but I also love having a little skincare community on here as well. It's really fun to write reviews, post ratings of products and being able to leave questions and make different posts is really helpful if you're seeking opinions on a product. 5/5 ⭐️'s!

I love being able to track which skincare products I use and when. This helps me remember if it’s a tretinoin night or an off night, which I really struggled with before getting SkincareRoutine. I use it religiously twice a day! Definitely try it if you’ve got a skincare routine - you can track your skin’s reactions to different products and see progress over the weeks/months!

While I do wish the onboarding/docs were more comprehensive, I LOVE SkincareRoutine. It’s been tremendously helpful to me in being intentional about my skincare regimen. I love that I can set up product rotations to really document how I use products and use the “To Test” feature as a product wishlist. I’m a happy “skinthusiast” eager to support their continued development and excited to see what’s to come!

Thanks to SkincareRoutine I’m able to track and better understand what I’m putting on my body. You can find products to match your skin type, track how they react on your skin, and establish routines for your skincare. Such a great resource to have. Upgraded to the paid version because this has quickly become my favorite app. Addicted!

Great for keeping track of my forever changing skincare routine! I think there is a bug that prevents me of adding photos when I add new products into the system though. :(

Sometimes it will glitch but overall its great.

SkincareRoutine is so nice! I’m now able to track when my products expire, and keep my routine consistent. I love it!

I’m an ADHD skincare addict and can now delete 15 subpar apps! This one’s design is simple, it’s still comprehensive and it’s a stellar app

SkincareRoutine has helped me keep track of products. My skin is happy!
